The winning drive? I would agree. The decision to go for it there was the right one, but 9 out of 10 coaches probably punt as they still had three timeouts. Even if they miss and NE scores a trade it is a one possession game. However, NE can’t really run down the clock at that position. Punt they probably don’t get the ball back.

Only thing is the receiver from a time standpoint probably shouldn’t have stretched for the end zone. Not only did he risk the review, but he is down inside the one they can run it to below the 2 minute warning or use NE’s last timeout. Can’t blame the guy for going for the end zone though.
